Typhoons unhappily are no respecters of of places, and that which recently swept over Japan-has not spared eveh Nikko --- Nikko the magnificent," nesting high up in the hills far to the north of Tokio. Ac counts to hand from this favourite summer resort show that it has indeed suffered For four days before the de. Boverely. vastation actually came, heavy,rains kept visitors to the hotels and villagers alike indoors, but there was nothing exceptional about the downpour to cause alarm. Then there came a night when the crunching of great stones in the bed of the Daiya gawa stream, accompanied a rapid rising of turbid waters which overleaped the ordin ary banks, tore away the yielding earth, brought down monstor trees by the roots, reached the riverside houses, caught them in the ourush and bore them, 150 at least, swiftly away. Fifty of the inhabitants will nover require homes again; the rest within a few hours of the disaster, when the floods had subsiled, were contemplating, the scene of wreckage with customary Japanese resignation, and setting about as cheerily us could be expected to make the best of bad circumstances. Some of the damage done
is irretrievable. All the bridges were carried away.

During the year, six members resignod, but I am glad to my that 14 gentlemen were added to the membership, which now stands at 78.
The thanks of the members are due to the following gentlemen who presented prizes, which had the effect of stimulating great interest in the Club, and resulted in many keen and hard games being played,

HOCKEY.
CLUR V. M.M.8. BLENHEIM,'
This match, the first of the season, was played on the Club grounds yesterday after noon before a limited number of spectators, Captain Stopford, of the Blenheim, being among them. The fact that two six-a-side matches were being played on the adjoin- ing grounds perhaps accounted for the rather sparse attendance.
The Blonheims are a very strong lot this year, and beat the Club by 9 goals to 1. though it was not such a runaway match as the score might imply. It would be in vidious to single out any player individually, as the sailors have brought the art of com bining, so sadly lacking in the Club team, to such a perfect pitch, that some one was always at the posts when needed, to put the ball through. Not that the Club forwards played a bad game; on the contrary, they kept well together, but the outsides, with the exception of Chater and Solfleet, were all over the place. Parker cleared woll in goal, and the large number of goals scored against him can only be attributed to lack of assistance from the backs, and the hard and accurate shooting of the naval men. The following were the teams :
H.M S Blenhiem: Goal, F.H. Batchel or Backs, Lts. Hunt and Middleton ; Half-backs, Capt. Luard, and Lt. Toulmin, R.M.L.I. and Mid. Smyth; Forwards, A.P. Silver and Mids. Pringle, Scott, Harvey, and Burrows.

DEAR SIR,--Some of your readers residing in distant parts of the Colony may be un- aware of the fact that a new series musical entertainments is being provided. daily, at the Naval Yard Extension, and it may be desirable to make public the hour and nature of the performances, when, no doubt, a large and appreciative audience will attend.
Hitherto, musical effort on the harbour bas necessarily been confined to the display of the more powerful launches. but these now merely act as a pleasing and delicate accompaniment to the blast of the Naval Yard's new stean hooter, which gives dino sostenuto performances daily, at one o'clock and six o'clock. Performances aro occasionally given at other hours, but thou who wish to make certain of hearing the music should attend at the times mentioned Above.

I think that some such possible means for the prevention of plague, being constantly be fore the people, would have a more marked effect, and would teach them probably to keep their places clean. I believe that if we could in some way bring home to the Chinese, in their tenement houses, that dirt meant dollar,' we should probably have less dirt and more cleanliness.
